btw, stid, about the loonie ($1 coin) -- there was originally another design but the die for it fell off a truck or something and it got lost so they used the one with the loon on it and thereby history is written, giving birth to the toonie ($2)

Atalante

LoriP

LoriP

5:37 am

LoriP

Woot, found my last d's! Forgot about the dy possibility. :(

5:37 am

NonoNanette

5:38 am

NonoNanette

wtg Lori your almost there now!

5:38 am

Atalante

we're meant to be Saving Money. which is why I verynicely only asked for series 2 of BSG, not series 2 and 3 ;)

5:38 am

LoriP

Dishes? What do you do with them? I have nooooo idea

5:39 am

NonoNanette

LOL Lori, my son seems to think they are for dirtying and leaving in the sink

5:39 am

LoriP

Ata, I just love esprit's comment, and I quote "I don't let my income get in the way of my lifestyle" lolol

5:40 am

LoriP

5:44 am

periwinkle

hello all

5:44 am

periwinkle

is this grid a nice one or not

5:44 am

Atalante

I bet he still doesn't get me BSG and gets me some shit he thinks I'd like

5:44 am

Atalante

30% nice

5:45 am

periwinkle

I liked yesterday's bui it was too big and wayyy too many re words

5:45 am

LoriP

Found my h's!!!!!

5:45 am

periwinkle

well, I already started

5:45 am

LoriP

It's er, different peri. G'd morning

5:46 am

pinkhatlil

hi peri

5:46 am

LoriP

Ata, perhaps a George Forman grill? :)

5:46 am

Atalante

oh gosh, probably

5:46 am

LoriP

1 stoopid word, which is a stoopid s, but at least it's a 4, which makes me more stoopider than this stoopid grid.

5:47 am

ajv74

Hello! My afternoon session starts from 66 words.

5:47 am

Atalante

his family have a really weird ethos when it comes to giving presents. they buy whatever they *think* the person would like, without asking or considering fully. So the recipient ends up getting random shit each year that they have to keep forever, because giving away / getting rid of gifts is tantamount to murder

5:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning avj. Go go go!

5:48 am

periwinkle

not good Ata

5:48 am

LoriP

Ahhh yes Ata. A dilemma. regifting is not an option......

5:48 am

Atalante

I've spent the last 6 years persuading him he can actually *ask* what I'd like LOL

5:49 am

periwinkle

do you buy him what he wants, Ata?

5:49 am

periwinkle

clue for the 9 please

5:50 am

Atalante

I ask him, and he always says "I can't tell you that!"

5:50 am

periwinkle

What? very strange Ata

5:50 am

periwinkle

are you supposed to read his mind then

5:50 am

Atalante

but luckily, as I'm a woman, I tend to have a good idea of what he wants anyway. which usually involves Playstation games LOL

5:50 am

Atalante

yep! its a very strange thing ...

5:51 am

LoriP

er + 3rd vowel + tr***y wife + slang for Jew

5:51 am

periwinkle

thaks Lori, never would have found that one

5:51 am

Atalante

and then he's always astonished when I end up managing to buy him things he wanted *facepalm*

5:52 am

Atalante

that 9 is SUTPID

5:52 am

Atalante

stupid even!

5:52 am

LoriP

Thus, Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars.........

5:52 am

Atalante

ohhh yes

5:53 am

periwinkle

man are clueless in general when it comes to gifts, IMHO, I once had a boyfriend buy me size 7 slippers when I wear a 9/10. YOu would think that he would have looked in my other shoes/slippers for the size

5:53 am

LoriP

The hub and I solved that problem by not exchanging gifts.

5:53 am

LoriP

Peri, peri, peri. So naivé. Men think of that? :D

5:54 am

Atalante

that would involve more than a snap decision the evening before a birthday :P

5:54 am

periwinkle

and of course they did not have my size when I went to exchange them'

5:54 am

ajv74

Is the re-word a 4/4?

5:54 am

periwinkle

very hot again here, mid-high 90's. have fan on but will have to put the AC on very soon

5:54 am

Haz1558

Ladies. Choose what you want, make sure he is on hand to pay. It cuts out the surprise element, sure, but you get what you want.

5:55 am

LoriP

Of course.

5:55 am

periwinkle

good idea Haz

5:55 am

LoriP

yes avj

5:55 am

ajv74

Ty LoriP

5:55 am

Atalante

husband and I had a *huge* row last year when I threw out some jumpers he had *never* worn that he had as christmas gifts about 10 years ago. honestly, he didn't talk to me for about 4 days!

5:55 am

Atalante

that is exactly what I am trying to steer him towards, haz!

5:55 am

LoriP

Very sensible Haz.

5:56 am

Atalante

and did you see my pic? spot the hobbit!

5:56 am

Haz1558

It works beautifully. I'm very pleased with my choice of gifts and it saves him having to tear his hair out.

5:56 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Haz

5:56 am

LoriP

lol Ata. It's tough to combat the guilt hoarder. hub has t-shirts that don't fit, but are "sentimental". tossing them could mean divorce.....

5:57 am

Haz1558

My favourite was 25th wedding anniversary time. He never ealised that he loved me THAT much.

5:57 am

periwinkle

Lori, there is a word in the grid and you and I are very familiar with du4/6 :-)

5:57 am

LoriP

lolol Haz

5:57 am

Atalante

you would think I'd asked him to have various important parts of his anatomy cut off when I tell him to *ask* what I would like

5:57 am

periwinkle

LOL Haz

5:57 am

Haz1558

Hello pink!

5:57 am

LoriP

peri, I recognized it instantly, in a moment of great ir 5/14 :D

5:57 am

periwinkle

why don't you just tell him, Ata or use Haz's suggestion

5:58 am

Atalante

any mention of such blasphemy results in sulks lasting for days!

5:58 am

periwinkle

I think I am on the list for the Dept of Health re inspection :P

5:59 am

Haz1558

Husband is equally helpful. He provides lists of things he would like, together with where they may be purchased.

5:59 am

LoriP

Poor Ata. Cold wars can be very ugly.

5:59 am

Atalante

what an excellent man!

5:59 am

Haz1558

He is a proud graduate of Husband Training School.

6:00 am

periwinkle

you have done a good job Haz

6:00 am

Haz1558

He is, Ata. I'm holding on to him. There are 30th wedding anniversary presents to be had....

6:45 am

JBV

Lori, I learned it as a set of 4 words - signs of infection - su 5, tu 5, ru 5 and ca 5 (all with the same 2 letter ending)

6:47 am

herinfernallady

huh?

6:47 am

LoriP

HS biology had a very casual relationship, at best.

6:48 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

8:09 am

herinfernallady

8:10 am

herinfernallady

sorry about that second o

8:10 am

EvaNadine

BFs jeep broke down on saturday...right in the middle of all of our plans + we were about 45 minutes away from home.
his brother came out to get us + it was a whole ordeal to get it towed (because of course it waited until after 6:00 on saturday to break down, when everything is closed)
ended up taking over 4 hours of our day away!!

8:11 am

herinfernallady

That sucks Eva that really does

8:12 am

SharonRA

frier

8:12 am

SharonRA

drier

8:12 am

SharonRA

8:12 am

Anniebrook

Eva, peri's car broke down also on Saturday...one of my large fears..happened to me on a bridge..scary

8:12 am

EvaNadine

hopefully it will turn out not to be anything to serious -- the place is looking at it today

8:12 am

herinfernallady

Sharon i have those

8:12 am

Anniebrook

8:12 am

SharonRA

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I hate car problems---a major inconvenience in life.

8:14 am

herinfernallady

Don't drive I loath public transport problems

8:14 am

EvaNadine

it was just so strange because the jeep was running fine, we had the top down, were enjoying the day....then, alluva sudden, i coughed, sputtered, and died...

8:14 am

EvaNadine

it *

8:14 am

herinfernallady

Bad car

8:15 am

EvaNadine

wouldnt even start after that

8:16 am

herinfernallady

what was wrong with it?

8:16 am

EvaNadine

we dunno. its at the shop right now.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Maybe the battery or alternator. Anyway, it will be expensive--always is.

8:20 am

SharonRA

there cannot be 66 words left, that's just impossible.

8:20 am

herinfernallady

i have 10 have been starring at it foor an hour

8:21 am

EvaNadine

we dont think its the battery, since the radio was still working just fine...
hopefully its not something serious!

8:21 am

LoriP

Could be a fuel filter Eva. 412 bucks and you're on 'yer way.

8:22 am

SharonRA

$412!! that can't be right

8:22 am

herinfernallady

My uncle taught me a few car things could probably service his car

8:22 am

EvaNadine

Lori -- thats what someone else thought it might be...

8:22 am

LoriP

That'd be $12 bucks NOT 412......

8:22 am

SharonRA

ok

8:22 am

SharonRA

i was worried, lol

8:22 am

LoriP

The way it sputtered before dying suggests that. May the bill be cheap! ***fingers crossed***

8:22 am

Madi95

ooooh, a shorty today!

8:22 am

EvaNadine

let hope for fuel filter, then!

8:23 am

LoriP

Sharon, my typist stinks.

8:23 am

herinfernallady

Its got teeth Madi. Did you finish yesturdays?

8:23 am

Madi95

hah ha ha ha ha ha... you're funny. No...

8:24 am

EvaNadine

we were driving alone just fine, then alluva sudden when he went to change gears, he said it just wasnt catching the gears. then it stalled out. he was able to get it restarted + it was idling fine for a while, so we thought we would try to get home, but a few miles later, the same thing happened again -- gears wouldnt catch, then it stalled out and died. couldnt get it started again after that.

8:24 am

herinfernallady

neither did i madi i had to go out.

8:24 am

herinfernallady

Hope its not the gear box Eva

8:25 am

8:26 am

herinfernallady

EvaNadine

8:45 am

Haz1558

I think there are two versions - people were obviously too stubborn to decide which was better to retain.

8:45 am

Madi95

Spangle is very well, thank you!

10:30 am

Sharon, just put another sometimes vowel in middle of SA5

10:30 am

superflippy

That's the last one I have left too, Sharon.

10:30 am

Haz1558

You've done well, iluv. It's a bit of an addiction, isn't it?

10:30 am

iluvcofee

yeah.. i was sad when they stopped tangleworld.. now found this.. good..

10:31 am

bbnaz

Sharon, superflippy -- did that help?

10:31 am

Haz1558

There have been quite a few tangleword refugees who have found solace in babble.

10:31 am

bbnaz

Haz, does Jacula come on any more?

10:32 am

nancethefan

thank you. i located it. the description "bio" was throwing me off. lol - it doesn't take much to give me a toss.

10:32 am

Madi95

se5? not the plural chair

10:32 am

Haz1558

She does, bb, but tends to be on a little later at night/early in the morning. She's on holiday this week, I think.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it sorted, nance.

10:33 am

nancethefan

lol - thank you haz

10:33 am

bbnaz

Madi - add the second vowel to the end of SE4

10:33 am

rururocks

sa 5/16?

10:33 am

Haz1558

The other se5/10 is the latin plural of se4/4 - same letters as the chair but rearranged slightly.

10:34 am

Madi95

speaking of holiday, i'm going to DisneyWorld this Saturday. Sure it going to be fun, but the time away from babble will be eating out my insides...

10:34 am

Madi95

ty bbnaz

10:34 am

iluvcofee

sa5/16 - *** something + ego

10:34 am

nancethefan

lol @ "eating out my insides"

10:34 am

CadFan

No contest for me - Disney World or Babble... Disney World all the way - I am SUCH a kid!

10:35 am

Haz1558

I know how you feel, Madi, but sometimes you've got to suffer babble withdrawal for the sake of family harmony. You really WOULDN'T want to stay home alone with a computer, now would you?

10:35 am

phaeton

Madi...take the puter with you!

10:52 am

bbnaz

10:53 am

rururocks

10:53 am

Aryn

10:53 am

bbnaz

we have been friends since the 70s

10:53 am

rururocks

She is a wonderful person

10:53 am

bbnaz

she doesn't do aussies any more though, she does beagles I thought (ever since Danny died at least)

10:53 am

rururocks

And a terrific dog handler ..her dogs are gorgeous

10:54 am

bbnaz

and these puppies go back to her breeding on my side

10:54 am

rururocks

oh I didn't know.. last time I saw her she had an incredible auusie

10:54 am

bbnaz

what a small world.

10:54 am

phaeton

Thanks Aryn and kisses to the babes!!

10:55 am

CadFan

ouch... I paid $3.75 this morning for 85 octane

10:55 am

Atalante

so who's going to get the email in first saying "I dind't know you knew ..."

10:55 am

bbnaz

just WHO are you ruru? Did you ever know the Lyles?

10:55 am

rururocks

we actually took lessons from the same trainer..although she was far more advanced than I

10:55 am

bbnaz

they live in napa

10:56 am

rururocks

don't know the lyles sorry

10:56 am

rururocks

Napa is a pretty big town nowadays

10:56 am

bbnaz

I handled a dog for her once who had his CDX and I told him to "take" the bait........not knowing of course that he was supposed to just hold it.

10:57 am

rururocks

she is a class act..like her a lot.

10:57 am

bbnaz

So my dogs have a lot of Gold Nugget and Tri Ivory breeding behind them. Don't know about the bitch and don't really care as I just want a female with my bloodlines to breed back to the male I have here.

10:57 am

nancethefan

brb

10:57 am

bbnaz

I lost my female unexpectedly and don't want to lose a lineage that I have been working on since 1975

10:58 am

bbnaz

Judy is the BEST. Too bad more breeders are not like her.

10:59 am

bbnaz

I used to live in the city and come to Sebastapol every weekend to work sheep. Danny, Judy and I would travel to dog shows together throughout NorCal. I LOVED showing up there. Here in Arizona it is not so much fun so I am back to showing horses.

11:00 am

Atalante

*random US doggy question* is flyball a big thing over there?

11:00 am

bbnaz

Yes. I used to think it was invented here back in the 70s but I am not going to swear by it.

11:01 am

sadie52

yea done :)

11:01 am

bbnaz

However, it is so fast these days, it boggles the mind

11:01 am

11:04 am

Atalante

not any more, my dog is too old and creaky. Well, creaky anyway. Next dog I would love to really get involved

11:04 am

Atalante

well, she's not even creaky, but she's got the start of hip problems and I don't want to work her over hurdles any more

11:05 am

Atalante

cockers are actually surprisingly good at it. if they have the lower set of hurdles!

11:05 am

bbnaz

that doesn't surprise me. don't they have height limits like they do in agility?

11:06 am

nancethefan

back - baby girl had to go do her potty, also

11:06 am

Atalante

yep, but in competitions they only use one height standard. but at crufts this year there was a little cocker who bounced over all the hurdles quite happily and kept up with the bigger dogs

11:07 am

11:24 am

Madi95

i would be grief stricken if one of my precious pups died. (see icon

11:24 am

Angela

There is a lawsuit pending that I could have joined in on, but just didn't have it in me. Too sad and to hear someone say that your pet has "no monetary value" is just too much, ya know?

11:24 am

Atalante

oh yes. too much after everything that already happened

11:25 am

Angela

exactly. so we think about all the goofy stuff he used to do and say goodnight to him every night and that has to suffice.

11:26 am

aaawww!! very cute Madi! Beagles?

11:27 am

Angela

hi mystery

11:28 am

11:38 am

FMitch

BTW Anglea haven't seen you for ages.

11:38 am

Atalante

11:39 am

Angela

Hi Frances

11:43 am

Angela

11:43 am

caitlyn

Hi Vic

11:44 am

Atalante

she's called *thinks* fairyhedgehog

11:44 am

Frances

Glorious day here..........and no cricket!!!

11:44 am

FMitch

Ah yes, I've seen her a couple of times, didn't realise she was 'a local'

11:45 am

Atalante

11:45 am

Frances

Better than being a hairy fedgehog

11:45 am

FMitch

LOL

11:45 am

Atalante

she's suitably hooked. she'll be subscribed soon, I'd happily bet :P

11:47 am

FMitch

Not a bad grid on the whole today

11:47 am

EvaNadine

any babblers have any favorite Gazpacho recipes?

11:48 am

Frances

Plodding my way through FM. Just found the sesame paste.

11:48 am

caitlyn

A lot smaller than yesterdays FM !!

11:49 am

caitlyn

Not me Eva sorry

11:49 am

FMitch

Hi EvaN

11:49 am

EvaNadine

printed a couple from online to try, but referrals are always nice to try. :)

11:49 am

Frances

Not me EvaN........hi.

11:49 am

EvaNadine

a coworker was having some for lunch today, and it just smelled to DIE for!

11:50 am

caitlyn

Did you ask her for the recipe?

11:50 am

FMitch

I always make it up as I go along starting with a carton of good tomato juice and some balsamic vinigar to taste. Rub the inside of the serving bowl with a cut garlic

11:51 am

FMitch

and then have fun prepping, the add in bits such as cubed cucumber, onion, bread cubes bell pepper or whatever takes your fancy.

11:51 am

Angela

brb - work calls

11:51 am

FMitch

just make sure the soup is very well chilled before serving

11:52 am

caitlyn

Sounds good FM Ive never had it (hanging head in shame )

11:53 am

Atalante

nor me, cait

11:53 am

FMitch

It's very refreshing on a hot day and be a light starter or a big rustic main course depending on whatyou want to lob into it.

11:53 am

caitlyn

Oh Im so pleased to hear its not just me Ata

11:54 am

Atalante

or you can turn it into bloody mary soup. I've seen it

11:54 am

FMitch

OK everyone round to my place at the weekend then :)

11:54 am

caitlyn

You are on FM

11:54 am

Reader951

Hi all. I'm stuck already on er 9/84. Any hints?

11:55 am

EvaNadine

i like the idea of rubbing garlic on the serving bowl!

11:55 am

FMitch

Sigh, Only on the Paul O'Gradey show would you get Irvana Trump and The Krankies on the bill.

11:55 am

caitlyn

LOL I have the same programme on FM

11:56 am

Atalante

that sounds rather scary

11:56 am

FMitch

IT's a grat idea EvaN for imparting the garlic taste without overpowering. You can do t with salad bowls too

11:56 am

FMitch

lol cait

11:56 am

caitlyn

Hi Reader

11:57 am

Reader951

Hi Caitlyn

11:57 am

Atalante

choose 9 random letters from the grid and throw them together in such a way that the result looks utterly improbable. and you'll have it

11:58 am

Frances

LOL Ata.

11:58 am

Reader951

I thought I tried that - I'll try again

11:59 am

FMitch

oops Hi Reader
Ahh aparently the er 9 is a tiny mite (bug). We need Haz to appear with a wonderous clue.

12:00 pm

Atalante

ok, let me attempt it

12:00 pm

caitlyn

Reader start with re then 2 vowels then 2 letters of p 4/6 and add a bad name for a Jewish person

12:00 pm

Atalante

er + moon of jupiter (2 vowels) + doctor of philosophy with a sort of vowel and a vowel added before the last of the 3 letters

ohhh i saw someone with the icon last night for the theme and it seemed after midnight ot me

12:55 pm

Vicuna

That's how the poor Parisienne cats respond to Pepe LePew?

12:55 pm

MLFAN17

or so

12:55 pm

MLFAN17

maybe close to it lol

12:56 pm

Haz1558

It would depend on which Parisienne cats we're talking about. The fancier ones would accompany le4/4 with a sniff and a sneer.

12:56 pm

FMitch

The Aristocats?

12:56 pm

MLFAN17

lol FM

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Of course they would, and hold up their little manicured paws in a gesture of repudiation, too.

12:56 pm

Haz1558

The ones. The ones from the backstreets would be a different histoire.

12:57 pm

Haz1558

Phone.

1:07 pm

Haz1558

Speaking of TV that is/was worth watching, I was amazed at Wild CHina last week. I had never seen the silk process before.

1:07 pm

FMitch

and Im in my 2 month football free period before the season starts again. I can even sleep in on a Sunday now if I wanted.
Ata being Italian does not automatically guarantee good legs.

1:07 pm

MLFAN17

NO 5/14 please

1:07 pm

FMitch

Oh HAz itsn't it the most stunning series. Last night was amazing too

1:08 pm

true, but there's a damn good chance!

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

FMitch

Good old Vi fighting through with the clue wagon

1:09 pm

Vicuna

Neither snow nor rain nor, in this case, oppressive heat, shall keep me from bringing the good news to Babble!

1:09 pm

Vicuna

(Oh bother. Heroic I may be, but I'm also in the penalty box.)

1:10 pm

FMitch

Thats the ticket! Stiff upper lip and all that.

1:10 pm

MLFAN17

1:11 pm

Atalante

someone who sits in the sun for too long with tanning oil on

1:11 pm

Vicuna

You've gotta watch that, FM!

1:12 pm

Haz1558

Back again. Phone keeps ringing (we're on duty).

1:12 pm

Vicuna

lol, Ata.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

fr5/16 - a kind of chicken, or the one who cooks it, or the thing it's cooked in...

1:13 pm

FMitch

fr5 another type of Monk or a way of cooking food in fat or oil perhaps.

1:13 pm

Vicuna

... or the Catholic priest it sounds like...

1:13 pm

lexleeanne

thanks

1:14 pm

Haz1558

Or the specialist monk who can only cook one way?

1:14 pm

lexleeanne

how about fu4/9??

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

Nu 5 please

1:14 pm

Atalante

1:14 pm

Atalante

nu5 that is

1:15 pm

Vicuna

nu5 - the kind of pics in Playboy

1:15 pm

MLFAN17

lol ty ata

1:15 pm

Haz1558

nu5 - what Prince Charles might have seen if the Polish horse thieves hadn't maurauded through at the wrong or right time.

1:15 pm

Atalante

and how would you nkow that, Vi???

1:15 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz!

It isn't like it's a well-guarded secret!

1:16 pm

Chelsey was watching P.Harry playing polo at the w/e.

1:16 pm

1:16 pm

Anniebrook

fu 4/9----hedge fu**

1:16 pm

FMitch

Vi was a bunny girl, thats how she knows.

1:17 pm

Atalante

ahhhh *that* makes more sense

1:17 pm

Haz1558

THAT's why she keeps giving du4/ bunny clues.

1:17 pm

Atalante

she has been quite obsessed with bunnies today

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Well, lexlee, that's an excellent question. *steeples fingertips* We have had this conversation in Babble before, and I first posited that the rest of you existed only inasmuch as I could see you here int he log...

1:17 pm

Atalante

ah but *you* only exist in my mind to think that you can see other people

1:18 pm

Vicuna

... But someone took that to be impossibly egotistical and offensive, so I acknowledged that perhaps it was he who existed and the rest of us did not...

1:18 pm

Vicuna

... but he did not want responsibility for any such disordered imagination that could devize us...

1:19 pm

Vicuna

... So I reckon we should just fall back on the old standby position...

1:19 pm

Atalante

I cant believe someone would consider you offensive and egotistical

1:19 pm

FMitch

*steeples fingertips* and rubs beard ponderingly.

1:19 pm

Atalante

thats my job

1:19 pm

Vicuna

... and blame FMitch.

1:19 pm

lexleeanne

okay.......... hedge???? fu????

1:19 pm

FMitch

of course!

1:20 pm

lexleeanne

hey good strategy if you misspell most of your words you can stay out of the PB>>>

1:20 pm

Vicuna

It was slightly odd, Ata, actually. I was being so ridiculously egotistical that I figured no one could possibly take me seriously, but apparently someone did. Unless of course, he wasn't being serious either, and I misinterpreted him! Very difficult on chat sometimes!

1:20 pm

FMitch

Yup hedge fu4 - think financial securities

1:20 pm

Atalante

was it zenmed?

1:21 pm

Vicuna

No, KnightTime.

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

lexleeanne

thank you..now I get it..not sure about vic though

1:21 pm

FMitch

dc!!! Hello :)

1:21 pm

Vicuna

But it is very hard to tell sarcasm without tone of voice, etc. I've seen myself and others get into trouble with that several times.

1:21 pm

Anniebrook

lexlee,.....Mutual fu** (where you put your money so it can grow, hopefully)

1:22 pm

Atalante

yes, very true

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Hello, dc!

1:22 pm

dcseain

been quite a while since i've been around this time of day. how is everyone?

1:22 pm

lexleeanne

there should be a sarcasm font

1:22 pm

Anniebrook

fine and you?, dc

1:22 pm

dcseain

well, ty, annie

1:22 pm

Vicuna

That's a brilliant idea, lexlee!

1:22 pm

lexleeanne

I get to go home now - - teacher work day finished - one more to go...

1:22 pm

Anniebrook

okay, I need two more....clue for su 5/14? please

1:22 pm

Atalante

and then people would be suspicious that you were using the sarcasm font sarcastically

1:23 pm

Vicuna

Oh, bother, I must go fetch my offspring -- and I do NOT want to get myself late and have to run in this weather!

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

Sorry i wheeled away for a bit

1:23 pm

lexleeanne

how very existential.....using the sarcasm font unsarcatically could be trouble too

1:23 pm

Atalante

su + thing that opens in a room

1:23 pm

Haz1558

I'd make good use of a sarcasm font.

1:24 pm

FMitch

Toodles Vi and lex

1:24 pm

Haz1558

It would be my default, I think.

1:24 pm

Kazozz

hey MLF!!

Back later, but possibly not until all you good people across the Atlantic have gone to bed, so Farewell!

1:24 pm

dcseain

hasta, vi and leeanne

1:24 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, right, Haz.

1:24 pm

dcseain

a sarcasm font would be useful, i agree, haz

i learned today that we have primaries again here tomorrow. this time for house of reps.

in Scotland I saw a group of them set a tripod up on the hard shoulder of the motorway to get a photo of them in front of the Welcome to England sign

1:51 pm

Atalante

oh my. thats fab

1:51 pm

annotherone

hi FMitch

1:52 pm

Haz1558

That sounds like the thing. I once saw a group taking multiple photos of a giant ice-cream cone model in Italy.

1:52 pm

Atalante

have we had any photoshoots of baileys wreaths?

1:52 pm

FMitch

Oh I so wanted an ice cream today

1:52 pm

Haz1558

I don't know if they were interested in the ice-cream, in the concept of someone having made a model or WHAT.

1:52 pm

annotherone

they always have such lovely cameras too

1:52 pm

annotherone

it's ice cream weather certainly

1:53 pm

Atalante

its a Thing. It must be Photographed

1:53 pm

cybernan

excellent clue, dan -- ty

1:53 pm

Haz1558

No. That is a regret of my life, that I didn't take a photo of that wreath. A Japanese cameraman would have had it snapped up for posterity.

1:54 pm

danf63

yvw nan...would you like another before I head back to work?

1:54 pm

Atalante

bet the florist has photos!

1:54 pm

1:54 pm

MLFAN17

is the 2ND SE 5/10 an extension of the 4 above it?

1:54 pm

She probably does. I'm pretty sure I know who was behind the abomination.

MLFAN17

cyber oops

1:56 pm

FMitch

Sheesh it's 'only' going to be 25 tomorrow

1:56 pm

Haz1558

So, would it be a case of pretending to be interested in ordering a speciality wreath? 'I say, my good woman, what examples do you have of your previous work?'

1:56 pm

Atalante

yep! LOL secret agent Haz

1:57 pm

FMitch

Exactly

1:57 pm

Haz1558

Think of my street cred. Word would get about that I was interested in TACK.

1:57 pm

Atalante

"I hear you did a very excellent wreath for some friends of my husband's sister's boyfriend"

1:58 pm

Atalante

you work for RDA. you should be interested in tack! :P

1:58 pm

Haz1558

It would have to be further away than that!

1:58 pm

Boobear

hi all. clue for the last no 4 please

1:58 pm

Atalante

oh wait though. didn't we establish already that you didn't have any?

It's true that you thought my street cred might be a bit on the lacking side.

1:59 pm

Boobear

1:59 pm

Atalante

I'm sure your imaginationis up to the challenge. If necessary, take Spangle with you to divert her attention. Spaniels let you get away with anything

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

booobear switch last two letters of previous 4

1:59 pm

Atalante

actually, I think that was FM. If not, I'm blaming her anyway

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz how are you today??

2:00 pm

Haz1558

Maybe if I googled Images for Baileys wreaths?

2:00 pm

Atalante

worth a go!

2:00 pm

Kazozz

uhmmm not great but better than yesterday! thx for asking MLF!!

2:01 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz are you with us today???

2:01 pm

cybernan

2:01 pm

Just signed on and read back in the log. We always laugh about the time we saw the Japanese tourists posing for pictures in front of trees at some chateau in France. I could have been any trees, anywhere in the world - no way to tell! ("And here we are in France. Or was it Australia? Or maybe our back yard?")

2:01 pm

FMitch

What am I being blamed for now?

2:01 pm

Haz1558

No joy. All the wreaths featured are far too tasteful.

A decent score is whatever you are happy with. The size varies every day so it's impossible to say but lots of people do finish

2:12 pm

Uneaixoise

i know . . . and she's a big galumph but very endearing and my other girls get along well with her

2:12 pm

Haz1558

You can use it to find any of the words, if you're using the list and know what you're missing.

2:13 pm

Uneaixoise

she kinda has a rottweiler head, black and white body, and giraffe colored legs, with a long tail LOL

2:13 pm

Atalante

2:13 pm

MLFAN17

3:05 pm

Madi95

hy 5/18 is an element

3:05 pm

evanonut

i love when i can understand written sarcasm

3:05 pm

Madi95

short for an element

3:05 pm

Haz1558

You're so good to me, EvaN. I nearly feel bad now for all the times I kidded you about your nu5 photos.

3:06 pm

EvaNadine

hah, which reminds me, i have my next shoot on saturday!

3:06 pm

Haz1558

But evanonut, we're going to have a special sarcasm font.

3:06 pm

Madi95

*covers eyes*

3:06 pm

evanonut

omg, she is violent, she's shooting!

3:07 pm

Atalante

which only sarasm is to be written in

3:07 pm

EvaNadine

im being shot AT!

3:07 pm

evanonut

would have to be a very bold font

3:07 pm

Haz1558

Is your costume tasteful?

3:07 pm

lexleeanne

hey that sarcastic font was my idea...

3:08 pm

Madi95

*walks to shed and shuts door*

3:08 pm

lexleeanne

who is taking that idea and passing it off as theirs???

3:08 pm

Atalante

i know. we're being sarcastic

3:08 pm

Haz1558

And you, lexie, will receive due reward at the next Nobel prizegiving.

3:08 pm

EvaNadine

i dunno yet -- its beach themed, and ill be borrowing stuff from her...

3:09 pm

Haz1558

I just said 'we're going to have'. Idea was unattributed. Please don't shoot me.

3:09 pm

EvaNadine

however, she DID tell me that i made it onto her list of models shes gonna call on for tasteful nudes! :-X !!

3:09 pm

lexleeanne

okay... we can call it the lexastic font

3:09 pm

evanonut

ack!!!

3:09 pm

Haz1558

Don't forget to let us see pics.

3:09 pm

EvaNadine

if/when it ever happens, maybe...hehe

3:10 pm

Haz1558

lexastic font sounds too much like support stockings.

3:10 pm

Madi95

*kneels in back of shed*

3:10 pm

Haz1558

There has to be a better title.

3:10 pm

evanonut

as in nekkid? *gasp*

3:10 pm

EvaNadine

she hasnt done many, so she offered free shoots for people who fit the body type she was looking for....
im a little heavier, but she said im on her list :)

3:10 pm

Atalante

sarcolex

3:10 pm

lexleeanne

lexastic DOES sound like support hose!! lol

3:10 pm

Haz1558

See - evanonut is shocked and she doesn't shock easily;.

3:10 pm

lexleeanne

sarcolex sounds like a laxative

3:10 pm

EvaNadine

technically nekkid, but strategicly positioned/covered

3:11 pm

Atalante

really?

3:11 pm

evanonut

no no no no...my only opinion is that you can't take that back...no do overs...

3:11 pm

Madi95

this is awkward

3:12 pm

EvaNadine

none of the bits + pieces get shown....ive seen the ones she has done, and theyre extremely tasteful

3:12 pm

lexleeanne

3:12 pm

Atalante

sounds fab!

3:12 pm

Boobear

3:13 pm

EvaNadine

its more hinting at nudity...

3:13 pm

Haz1558

Lexadonic - I can go with that.

3:13 pm

evanonut

not saying i don't personally approve evan, but as a person who works on background investigations i'm saying that it doesn't go away, and others may have other opinions

3:13 pm

Madi95

sounds like Supersonic though

3:13 pm

lexleeanne

ha 5/12 dislikes greatly

3:14 pm

Haz1558

3:14 pm

Atalante

3:15 pm

EvaNadine

and if i felt uncomfortable, i can always (1) not take them or (2) ask her not to show them to anyone)
shes very cool that way

3:15 pm

lexleeanne

3:15 pm

Atalante

3:15 pm

Red Velvet

3:15 pm

EvaNadine

3:15 pm

Madi95

*peeks head out of door* Is everything ok now?

3:16 pm

EvaNadine

3:16 pm

Atalante

3:17 pm
